Municipal council (proportional; mayor elected by council)

Next: Date pending. Window: 8 September 2026 to 8 March 2028. Checked 11 September 2026.

PARTIAL: 2 of three cycles recorded

2027 cohort. Exact community polling day remains to be confirmed. The public elects the council; there is no separate direct mayoral ballot. Municipal mergers and the switch from majoritarian to proportional voting prevent automatic comparisons with predecessor towns. A further merger proposal requires monitoring before the ballot roster is final. The March 2022 replacement election follows a December 2021 council poll; both are actual separate elections. The latest reported top-two list margin is at most 10 points: competitive coalition formation watch; three-cycle index withheld. The consolidated municipality began in 2021; 2016 town council (5 RPA, 1 PAP, 5 independent councillors) is predecessor context on narrower boundaries and is not inserted as a third comparable cycle.
